Enter a 'Single Frame Story' in our New Weekly Challenge

Whiskey Monday and I are starting a new weekly challenge for people who'd like to try their hand at creating Single Frame Stories:

Each Saturday we’ll offer a new word or phrase for a prompt. Participants will each create a Single Frame Story based on the prompt of the week, consisting of a single image with up to 140 optional characters of text. The image can be a photo, screen shot, drawing or painting. The text can be integrated into the image or used as a caption or title.

The prompt for the first week is "Last Words". We're giving a bit more time on this one, so submissions are due by Friday night, August 10. Our first showing on the Single Frame Stories blog will be Saturday, August 11.

To participate, email your image to SingleFrameStories@gmail.com. We’ll aggregate all the submissions and present them here on the following Saturday. You can also upload images to our Flickr Group. (If you submit images to the Flickr group, please specify the date/prompt of your image.)

Please include the following with your submission:

Your name

Your blog or website if you’d like it linked

Your flickr name if you have one

Send questions by email, leave a comment here or on the Single Frame Stories site, or ping Whiskey or I on Twitter. There are plenty of examples of Single Frame Stories in the blog's introductory post, and you can check out some of my visualized tweets below.
